Tried this, as usual, neat in glencairn glass. Bottle has been open for about 3+ weeks. Have rarely ever had a bad MGP product, let’s see how this stacks up. Nose - candy in a glass, right off the bat very prominent caramel, candied orange, and a sweet oak maybe even a little bit of cedar, just a hint of rye spice, not something I normally get with MGP products but a slight hint of banana, little bit of a cherry note almost like a red licorice, and vanilla. If you like sweet then this definitely checks that box. This was a nose that the longer it set it just kept evolving and more scents were coming out. Palate - jumps all over in a good way, palate matches the nose with the caramel, orange, and oak, little bit of chocolate and cherry, pick up more of those high rye mash bills, allspice and a pleasant spiciness overall in the mid palate, pepper and cinnamon. For a 100 proof it has a fantastic buttery texture, coats the mouth well. This has complexity to it no question, there’s some sweetness, little bit of savory with a buttered popcorn, then finishes off with the spice. Finish - moderate to long, felt like it took over my taste buds, slightly drying but not to bad, oak mostly, the spiciness becomes much more muted, and back comes a little bit of sweetness almost like a chocolate mint. This would be a highly recommend if you can find it. For bourbon lovers I think Remus Repeals are a mystery no longer so might be hard now. This from initial open has just gotten better and better. It’s got a ton of flavor and one of those bourbons that evolves in the glass and will likely change from initial pour to the time you finish it (I guess depending on how big or small a glass you pour). Probably one of the best bourbons I’ve tasted for 2021.
